lease by which they were granted

A Grand BenevoIenee-The
Work Of One Yeslr.


The great fraternal beneficiary
society, known as the Knights of
Honor, which has so rapidly ex-
tended itself all over the United
States, did grand work in 1886.
1t is strictly a fraternity, organized
on the lodge plan. holding meet
ings at least twice month. 1t
has for its purpose the advance.
ment and, benefit of its own mem
bers, and the betterment of human
ity in general. ~
During the year 1886, there was
distributed in local charities
through the medium of the 1900
subordinate lodges scattered
throughout the country, S120, 600.
This fund was distributed without
any cost of disbursement, and went
at once and most opportunely to
the needy. While this sum is a
handsome one in aggregate, yet it
was distributed without being felt
by any member, and and was less
than 100 for each member of the
order. The readiness with which
the call for aid is responded to by
the membership is most commen-
dable. When Charleston was
visited by the terribele earthquakes
of last summer, liberal contribu-
tions were sent forward by the va.
rious lodges throughout the coun-
try, and only ceased to go forward
when no more were needed
Aside from these noble charities,
this gr, at benevolent order teaches
its members to provide for those
dependent upon them, when the
members shall be called away from
earth. 1t provides that a benefit
of 1000 shall be paid To the fam
lily of every member who dies in
good standing in the order. This
fund is raised by assessments upon
each Individual member. During
1886, twenty one assessments were
called to the Supreme Lodge
Treasury, and there was paid out
from the sum thus realized, in
death benefits to the families and
dependents of deceased members,
during the year, SO, 1913, 900. These
payments went in the main to
those who otherwise would have
left nothing for the support of their
families. They were enabled to do
this for the reason that the assess
ments are paid in sums of one or
two dollars per month for each
member, through the agency of his
subordinate Lodge.
When we add TO this benefit fund
of SO, la, 600 the S120, 600 disbursed
as local charities, we have the
grand total of S3,243,O GOO disbursed
by the Knights of Honor during
1886. What noble work was this,
and how many widows andorphans
have been kept from want, and
comforted in the hour of distress
and need, by the quiet but effective
labors of this great brotherhood.
We have had $4,000 left to the
benefit of our town in the last
twelve months.

THIS new and valuable variety for

yet known; it is what its name indicates
a Tree Bean; grows to the height of Is or

do not touch the ground, enabling It to
stand a wet spell without injury to the

Greenbrler independent.
The manly effort of portion of
our Legislature to turn the State
over 10 the Republicans in 1888
most doubtless meets the hearty ap.
proval of everybody in the State
except the Democrats. When a
body of men have been chosen for
certain purpose and expected to
accomplish that for which they
have been chosen, there should be
some sound and excellent reason
WHY the duty was not performed.
Why twelve 'patriots" have block
ed legislation and disorganized the
party to which they protested to
belong, il not apparent before, sure
ly is manifest even 10 fools now.
The appointment of the leader
of the disorganizers to the Office of
United States Senator strips the
thin covering of patriotism and
boasted efforts of public good from
the scene and lays bare the scheme
which was nothing more nor less
than plot for spoils. The prin-
ciple for which they pretended to
fight is, if never before, now shown
in all it's enormity and none can
be so simple as not to see it. The
Democratic party must be disor-
ganized and defeated; the public
money must be sqGandered, in ex-
ira session, the business of the State
made to lanquish and suffer injury
because twelve Democrats under
took to dictate to thirty eight and
elect either a man of their choice
or put the appointing power in the
hands of the Governor under
compact with the leader Of the
twelve that, that leader should re-
ceive the reward of his party
treachery.
The power, therefore, that was
the peoples has been put in the
hands of one man. This conduct
is such that Democrats cannot af-
ford to hush their mouths and sit
in silence. 1t deserves to be pla-
carded over the country and its
rottenness exposed.
We learn that some of the twelve
who have done so much for Mr..
Lucas and SO little for the State,
express surprise at Governor Will
sons appointment. Is this to be
taken seriously or is it joker
The people wanted this Senator
ial matter settled. A majority of
the representatives of the Dem
ocratic party who voiced the will
of their constituents had nOmina-
ted man for the position in the
regular mode and their constituents
wanted him elected. They wanted
no turmoil or dissension or disor.
ganization. As there is and has
been sufficient power delegated to
the city of Charleston, they by no
means wanted the power of Great
ing a United States Senator del
egated to one man in that city and
they are disappointed and DISCUS
ted that such haz been the case
They will right this wrong in due
time, as those who have defrauded
them out of their rights will learn
when the day of reckoning comes.

Reap q Big Harvest.
Clarksburg News.
West Virginia is destined TO at
tain a prominently conspicuous
position among the great prbdnc-
ing States of the American conti-
nent. Within recent period the
extent and richness of her mineral
resources has aroused wide spread
attention. The railroad develop
ment which is now rapidly pro-
crossing in different parts of the
commonwealth, will hasten the inn
proyement of regions that at pres
ent are isolated, and the product
ions of localities hitherto denied
Communication TO the outside world
will be afforded an. opportunity of
reaching a ready and profitable
market.
The day for West Virginia's pros
perity has arrived. The people
must take advantage of the golden
opportunities presented. With the
construction of new railroads, dis
tricts prolific with valuable depos-
its will quickly come into prom
inence and hustle with active in
dustrial interests. West Virginia
has already reached point that
makes her a dangerous rival OF
other States that have for many
years been supplying central sec
tions with coal and iron. The star
of our State is now one of the
brightest in the brilliant constella-
ton of States that have been dis
tinguished through the medium OF
valuable mineral productions.
Leading capitalists 1.-THE United
States seeing the advantage dis
played in the ore regions Of West
Virginia are seeking investment
for large sums of money. The pla-
cling of this capital will create great
industries whose influence and
development will add largely to
the general prosperity of coun.
try whose advance has been retard-
ed by various circumstances A
business boom is spreading its en-
ceuraging and satisfactory bright

pie recognize the pleasant and as
surfing fact that the present period
of generous raid is activity. engen-
dered by the mineral production,
is not merely spasmodic or tempo
rary, but has come to stay. West
Virginia can regard the prevailing
situation complacently, for the out
look for the year 1887 is significant
of the utmost cheerfulness and
plenty in all branches of industry
and trade.

II is said that several of the
twelve anti-cnucus Democrats are
very much dissatisfied with the
appointment of Lucas to be U. s.
Senator, and claim that they have
been duped. The trouble is they
do not see the error of their way
until it is ton late to change the
situation. Everybody else seen
how matters were drifting from
the begin ming, and every Demo
cratic paper sounded the alarm to
no purpose.
